Halal Restaurants in Barcelona That Are Well Worth Checking Out
1. The Steak House
There is no going wrong with a great steak which is why we highly recommend The Steak House, but it comes with a twist. They won’t ask you how you want your steak cooked over here but instead will serve you a lightly seared steak with a hot plate to cook it yourself. No more sending it back to get cooked more when you can just do some DIY(!). Cooking aside, the steak is great here (the galician steak is a must) and well worth the reasonable price tag attached. A fun and tasty experience that can be found near the Ramblas.
Halal Status: Most steaks served here are halal. They have a small separate steak menu that is non-halal. No pork but alcohol present.
Address: Rambla de Catalunya,27, 08007

2. Bo De B
Heading to the beach and want to grab some munchies beforehand? The loaded halal sandwiches from Bo De B are ideal with a portion of falafel on the side. You can choose from marinated chicken, beef or veg that is then cooked up on a griddle and stuffed inside a crusty roll, before being stuffed with an assortment of salads and drizzled in sauces of your choice. It’s a hefty meal but it is darn tasty and a definite upgrade on your regular Subway.
Halal Status: All meats served are halal. No pork or alcohol present.
Address: Carrer de la Fusteria, 12.esquina, Carrer de la Mercè, 35, 08002

3. El Atlas
Similar to Bo De Be, Al Atlas serves a range of loaded bocadillos, aka sandwiches, that come with a choice of meat, salads, sauces and a generous handful of french fries. If you’re all about no carbs before Marbs, then you can opt for one of their salad plates which comes with all the same delicious trimmings. Just don’t forget to order a cup of Moroccan tea!

4. Arabe Halal Marrakesh
Due to the large Moroccan population in Barcelona, you know that you’re going get a hold on some real good Moroccan food out there. Arabe Halal Marrakesh is perhaps the best in the city with their mouth melting beef and prune tagines, chicken bastella and meat skewers with couscous. The prices are also reasonable here.

5. Malaysian Street Delights
Going for Malaysian whilst out and about in Barcelona might not cross your mind but Malaysian Street Delights is worth a visit. Skip the roti and go straight for the mains like the gulai lemak udang (large prawns that arrives in a lemongrass coconut sauce), the char keuy taow with the tender beef strips and the smoky chicken satay. Service is wobbly

7. Spice BCN
Spice BCN are known for two things: being the first South African restaurant in Barcelona and serving some insanely good chicken! Oh, let’s not forget that they only serve halal making it a great addition to this list. This family-run business imports their spices and herbs from Africa and the Caribbean and combines them with the local Spanish produce to create dishes like the succulent chicken leg that arrives doused in a secret sauce and masala steak prego roll.

8. Ziryab Tapas
Tapas with a twist is their motto and with a twist indeed, given their menu takes a Middle Eastern twist on the typical Mediterranean cuisine. Think patata bravas served with harissa and vegan aioli, olives arriving in Lebanese date syrup, paella with chermoula and falafels made with Catalan beans.

9. Nass Brunch
If you’re tired of your hotel breakfast and want to venture out, Nass Brunch is a fairly new halal spot that serves up acai bowls, fresh fruit smoothies, a variety of eggs benedict and plenty more to keep you satisfied for the day. We recommend opting for one of their brunch plates like the Desayuno Baladi which comes with scrambled eggs, cheese, honey, jam, olives and freshly baked msemen to scoop it all up with.
